These past five weeks have gone by so quickly; it’s hard to believe that we are half-way through the Term already. So far this Term in Math, we have been working on odd and even numbers and place value into the thousands. Beginning this week, we will start with our Friday afternoon Math rotations which I know the students will love! There has been a lot happening in English so far this Term also as we have been constructing our persuasive texts and pulling apart examples of persuasive paragraphs to identify the persuasive language and structure that is used; we have also begun spelling and writing sprints. During our writing sprints, students are given a picture and spend 15 minutes writing whatever comes to mind in order to strengthen their writing and help further develop their imagination.  This Term, the students are particularly enjoying our technology unit where we are looking at occupations that require technology and identifying how technology has changed from the 1800’s to now. 

A few reminders: 

Monday: homework is due and sent back home. Please ensure your child is reading at least 3 times a week for 15 minutes per night and that one math’s activity is completed for the week from their math matrix (found in their homework book). 

Thursday: Library. Please ensure your child brings their library bag so that they can borrow a book and take it home as part of their reader. 

Friday: Health and PE. Students are to wear their sport uniform on this day.
